ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 28The source code of this document is freely available. If you wonder how this documentwas created, just have a look at the source code in microtype.dtx, which iseither already included in your TEX distribution, or else can be downloaded fromCTAN. For the source code of the logo on the title page and of the letterspacingsample from section 5.3, see appendix A and B. If you want to re-typeset thedocumentation, read the comments at the end of microtype.dtx.10 ContributionsI would be glad to include configuration files for more fonts. Preparing suchconfigurations is quite a time-consuming task and requires a lot of patience. Toalleviate this process, this package also includes a test file that can be used tocheck at least the protrusion settings (test-microtype.tex). If you have created aconfiguration file for another font, or if you have any suggestions for enhancementsin the default configuration files, I would gratefully accept them: w.m.l@gmx.net.11 AcknowledgmentsThis package would be pointless if Hàn Thê´ Thành hadn’t created the pdfTEXprogramme in the first place, which introduced the micro-typographic extensionsand made them available to the TEX world. Furthermore, I thank him for helping meto improve this package, and not least for promoting it in Thành 2004, Thành 2008and elsewhere. I also thank him and the rest of the pdfTEX team, and more recentlyalso of the LuaTEX team, for refuting the idea that TEX is dead, and for fixing thebugs I find.Harald Harders has contributed protrusion settings for Adobe Minion. I wouldalso like to thank him for a number of bug reports and suggestions he had to make.Andreas Bühmann has suggested the possibility to specify ranges of font sizes, andresourcefully assisted in implementing this. He also came up with some good ideasfor the management of complex configurations. Ulrich Dirr has made numerous suggestion,especially concerning the new extensions of interword spacing adjustmentand additional character kerning. Georg Duffner has patiently tested microtypeunder TEX and LuaTEX with his beautiful OpenType font EB Garamond 14 . Mythanks also go to Maciej Eder for contributing settings for the QX encoding, aswell as to Karl Karlsson for providing settings for the Cyrillic T2A encoding, andto Hendrik Vogt, who made substantial improvements to the Computer ModernRoman italic settings. I thank Loren B. Davis for providing protrusion settings forOpenType versions of Palatino Linotype. I am also very much indebted to Élie Roux,who not only contributed the lua module in the first place, but also, together withPhilipp Gesang, took care of updating it for the developments in LuaTEX land.I thank Philipp Lehman for adding to his csquotes package the possibility torestore the original meanings of all activated characters, thus allowing for thesecharacters to be used in the configuration files. Peter Wilson kindly provided a hookin his ledmac/ledpar packages, so that critical editions can finally also benefit fromcharacter protrusion.EX14 Available from CTAN at /fonts/ebgaramond, including configuration files for microtype.
